FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel amidine compounds and herbicides which contain these compounds.

Priority is claimed on Japanese Patent Applications No. 2005-224452 and 2006-128341, filed Aug. 2, 2005 and May 2, 2006, respectively, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND ART

Many herbicides are being used for weed control, which has required intensive labor in the past when growing field and garden crops. However, the development of drugs which are reliably effective at a lesser dose and which are also possible to use safely is desired due to the occurrence of chemical damage to crops, environmental persistence of the drugs, and environmental pollution caused by the drugs.

Regarding the present invention, non-patent document 1 describes the production method of N-aryl-N′ alkylcyanoformamidine similar to the compounds of the present invention.

However, this document does not describe that N-aryl-N′ alkylcyanoformamidine has herbicidal activity.

Test Example 1 Upland Farming Foliar Treatment Test

A 200-cm² pot was filled with soil and respective seeds of crabgrass, giant foxtail, velvetleaf, and pigweed were planted in the surface layer thereof, and, after lightly covering with soil, the plants were grown in a greenhouse. When each weed had grown to 5-10 cm in height, a water-dilution of emulsifiable concentrate shown in Formulation Example 2 of each compound under test was applied to foliar parts of weeds by a small atomizer so that the active ingredient would reach a predetermined dose, in an amount equivalent to the application amount of 1000 l/ha. The plants were grown in a greenhouse and 2 weeks after the treatment, herbicidal effects on weeds were examined following the examination criteria.

Results showed that compounds listed below had a herbicidal index of 8 or more with any of the weeds of crabgrass, giant foxtail, velvetleaf, and pigweed at 1000 g/ha. Note that compound numbers correspond to those in Table 3.
